How come there are no players from Iceland?

It is not a popular sport in Iceland really, the population doesn't embrace it...they have a national team at last check but when Nikolai Antropov can score 26 points in one game on it, you know you have some bugs to work out...but it's very unpopular there vs. muscle-related activities plus soccer and handball...
